Spectral
Created by: Vernet Magic, Adriano Zanetti
Spectral is a close-up magic trick that combines the classic ashes on palm effect with a new twist where a cross appears on a spectator's hand. The performer uses a fork and a lighter to create the illusion, making it seem like the heat from the fork leaves marks on both the performer's and the spectator's hands. This trick is ideal for walk-around magic, especially in dining settings, and requires the magician to provide their own lighter and a fork.
